Thanks, Nightwalker. I'd got the first one but I hadn't realized
that the second mission was included and continues from the
first mission! So many multi-mission campaigns download as
separate missions. For instance, I have recently started an FM
I'd had for some time (zip file = shorecreek); it looked
strangely familiar yet somehow different. After a while I
realized it was the second part of one I'd already completed 6
months or a year ago and the maps overlap slightly. What a
shame. I'd have loved to continue straight into this after the
first one. I think the original was Errand Boy but I get titles
mixed up.

 I don't recall seeing anything that said this Shining Standards
is a two-mission pack and Max missed it too which suggest that
maybe authors should more prominently flag their work so their
is no doubt whatsoever (such as Calendra's Legacy). In fact I
didn't see any briefing text file in Darkloader. I've just found
it now in the T2 folder and it does say it is a 2-mission pack.
I hope there is some event at the end of the first mission that
makes it clear that the action continues!  :)
